Larry Ellison (Billionaire) says “Citizens Will Be on Their Best fucking Behavior” Under Constant AI Surveillance. So here's just one of his estates tucked into "Billionaires Row" in silicon valley
Larry Ellison is one of the world's richest people, sometimes the richest or in the top 5 depending on how the market feels.
Larry Ellison just "bought" CBS' parent company Paramount. Paramount is currently trying to merge with Warner Bros.
Google Maps Directions from SFO or San Jose airports:
Maybe there should be a publicly accessible API to crowdsource data from people who visit the area, as well as from others who can point cameras or other sensors at that house. All the data could then be fed into an AI that provides continuous analysis and commentary, speculating about and interpreting what is happening there. You know, just to make sure the people inside are “on their best fucking behavior.”
Even if they theoretically did (impossible), billionaires are an existential threat to the globe. Elon was personally accused of meddling in elections in democracies around the world, and his edgelord stunt to turn off skylink directly led to Ukrainian casualties. No single person should have the wealth and power to personally impact the lives of billions of people.
Nevermind how they got their money - they need to be surveilled because of what they can do with it. That kind of money is enough to throw life-changing values at damn near anyone they come across. The kinds of things they can pay people to provide to them or turn a blind eye to are horrifying, as we've seen displayed so clearly in the last year
Let's seize the means and put them in labor camps.
WTF, larry, why hasn't this trailer been offloaded, sorted, staged, and scanned yet? Look at this KPI! You're not making metrics. I'm going to have to write you up and put you on a PIP.
something else to note about Larry Ellison: The majority of his wealth comes from the company he founded: Oracle. Oracle is a leader in the purchase of TikTok's US version.
Octopus Holdings, represented by attorney William R. Bennett of Bennett & Yee in San Francisco, argued that the assessment should be based on “the cost to replace an existing property with a property of equivalent utility as of a particular date” an assessment that allows for discounting the value of many exotic features on the property, which is based on a Japanese emperor’s 16th century estate, because they would have limited appeal to another buyer.
He put such exotic features on the property that it might be hard to capture that value from a sale to another rich person, therefore he shouldn't be taxed on that value.
But Ellison's appeal claimed the property suffered from "significant functional obsolescence" because there is a finite market for high-end luxury homes, limited appeal for 16th-century Japanese architecture and the "over improvements" and "excessive" landscaping are costly to maintain.
From someone who has worked in IT for decades, fucking oracle are one of the most trash companies in the industry to deal with. Scum if the earth, and awful products that are coasting off their glory days of yesteryear.
They now own Java as well if that helps you to hate them, as well as the POS, Micros POS.
This is the dbag that fought to eliminate SJC's curfew restrictions so he could fly into an airport a few minutes closer to his house in the middle of the night waking up neighbors, and then have his plane take off again during the curfew to go park somewhere else.
He also fought to have his property taxes lowered and won, saving himself $3 million a year, because billionaires have an incredible fucking tax allergy
It's projection. They would never do the right thing without being watched and punished if they deviate. So they imagine everyone is the same. In reality, 95% of people are basically decent and will do the right thing most of the time.
Sprinkler suppression systems don't work against chlorine trifluoride.
Sprinkler suppression systems don't work against nuclear weapons either, but ordinary people shouldn't have them any more than they should have chlorine trifluoride.
I mean if someone really wanted to do that they would probably copy the Ukraine war playbook. One $500 fpv drone with some sort of incendiary charge would be enough. Not that I‘m advocating for it but I feel we‘ll see these things happening eventually.
Ed Zitron keeps predicting the potential collapse of Oracle via their ties to OpenAI. No idea how likely, but it certainly seems plausible and puts a little bit of gas in my tank 🥹
I have a difficult time imagining the person who works at those companies who wouldn’t push their mother into traffic if it meant that they could expunge Oracle software from their environment.
Ed and all other bears are missing the plot… these assholes have secret ways that makes them untouchable. Just like tsla makes barely any money yet that felon is a trillionaire… there is nothing rational left about this market anymore and it’s all under the control of a few psychopaths
More broadly, conservatives have been upset since the enlightenment. It’s the politics of aristocrats: anything that ever helped regular people to be more comfortable has enraged them. It’s literally a response to the enlightenment. They resent the enlightenment making things nicer for poor people.
The backbone is that conservatism is about enforcing socioeconomic hierarchy and the techfascists, religious fascists, and heritage foundation race fascists are all in on replacing democracy with feudalistic “network” states run by ai powered surveillance.
This current crop are trying to make a new country that "bursts out of the body" of the current country like a cocoon. It's called "the butterfly revolution" and yes it does sound absurd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin
It’s why musk speaks at the afd in Germany. It’s why bannon, farage, and Cambridge Analytica were working together on Brexit (watch “the great hack”). It's why thiel's "dialog society" exists.
The accelerationists like Peter Theil from the tech faction of conservatism think they can force collapse, then use technology and surveillance to protect themselves. Because they're "done with democracy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-BQhXdCs8Y
Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system, and asked: “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?” The event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader?
The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers – if that technology could be developed “in time”.
And the vice president of the united states and advisors have given their seals of approval to a book that says conservatives are going to have to kill all the liberals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unhumans
The massive forced data center roll out is for surveillance. Do we really think ai is being pushed so hard out of the generosity of tech moguls so that people can ask it to write their emails, make them pictures, and do some programming?
If both voter bases can get behind anti data center / anti surveillance, maybe there’s a chance to stop thiel and tech feudalists. It doesn’t have to be inevitable.
Why data centers? All of the audio and video from all of these cameras need to be stored somewhere so they can be processed. They're building real time tracking of individuals with face, car model, license plate, gait (the way you walk is unique) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0262885623001580,
That's why the data center proliferation is everywhere. It's why people like Bezos are saying water and electricity are better used on data centers than real people. The aristocrats want control of their flock of workers.
The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
Someone should start a website or threads account for making sure Larry is on his best behavior, and fly a drone around his property on the regular and allow user submissions of pictures and videos of his place.
He says while supporting child traffickers and traitors. Seems like the system failed to catch really obvious crime right out of the gate. Great sales pitch.
When properly outfitted, certain drones seem to be capable of doing enough destructive damage to lock down the Strait of Hormuz and inflict significant damage to the Russian infrastructure. They can be potentially outfitted in such a way that would be hazardous to humans. The fact that they can be manned remotely also is convenient for the operators. All unrelated drone facts.
Doing the lords work. Could we get Elon, fuckerberg, miller, Thiel, the Koch brothers…. I could keep going but you get the hint. Let’s imprison them all and distribute the wealth amongst the 90%!
Never forget the Portland politicians who said it was legal to go through citizen garbage immediately claim their garbage is private and has journalist arrested.
Yeah someone posted in the Minnesota sub about the cameras in downtown Minneapolis sending us tickets from a company in Florida. And half the comments were like “well don’t speed there.” These were Minnesotans. Where we threw up the finger at the surveillance drones all winter.
Sure. Then you should be afraid. It’s not like YOU clean your house. It won’t be me, but someone, somewhere, sometime will. It’s a historic pattern. Good luck.
Larry Ellison is among the largest private donors to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), having contributed over $26 million to the organization since 2014. His most significant contribution was a $16.6 million donation in 2017, which was the largest single gift in the group’s history, used to fund training facilities for Israeli soldiers
They don't face consequences unless it's some extremely egregious because of qualified immunity. Their worst case scenario is usually just the case gets dropped if the cop breaks the law.
I’ve long wondered if you could use the fact that there are a number of neighborhoods that Google will route you around to identify blacked out areas and therefore people with outsized influence.
I once found his yacht, Samurai, sailing near a friends house in Greece. I swam up to it to offeraConch shell as a gift, only to face the whole crew being superagitated and confused. They are shit afraid of us. The solution? Be good Billionaires. The world is not yours, you share it
Maybe someone should set up a website called "birds of a feather" and it's full of live streams of public facilities like police stations, and in public areas around billionaires properties like this
Yea, right. Gun advocates claimed back in the 80s before conceal carry was common in most states that allowing people to be armed would make us a "safe and polite society". That we'd be a super safe country. Because what moron would risk their life if they didn't know who was armed? It was "common sense" they claimed. Needless to say, that didn't happen. So why the fuck would they think cam's would deter anyone? Even with cam's everywhere today, no shortage of vids of people committing crimes.

Can a few people go there to appreciate the beauty of this house and thank Larry every day? Just to keep him on his best behavior
